Mixed-methods evaluation explores increased income and sustainability in coastal Bangladesh microenterprises, suggesting benefits for farmers.
This study examines the adoption of solar-powered rice drying systems in coastal Bangladesh villages as a microenterprise development initiative. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including surveys and interviews with farmers and entrepreneurs. Data analysis utilised descriptive statistics and thematic coding. Farmers reported a significant increase in income by up to 30% due to reduced post-harvest losses from solar-powered drying systems compared to traditional methods. The solar-powered rice drying systems have successfully supported microenterprises, contributing to economic resilience and environmental sustainability. Further research is recommended to explore scalability and cost-effectiveness of these systems in other regions with similar conditions.
